Question
Answer
4 types of tissues   epithelial(covers and lines), connective (connect and bind), muscular (movement), nervous (communication and control)  
🗑
characteristics of epithelial tissue   tightly packed cells, specialized contacts bw cells, avascular, innervated, regenerate, specific size/surfaces  
🗑
tight junctions/zona occludens   proteins bw 2 cells that SEALS space bw cells. completely attaches cell to neighbor. materials move through epithelial cells instead of between  
🗑
adhering junctions/zona adherens   proteins bw 2 cells that keep cells from separating  
🗑
desmosomes/macula adherens   proteins bw 2 cells that ANCHOR cells to basement membrane or reinforce stress points (button or snap, each cell contributes half)  
🗑
gap junction   proteins bw 2 cells that form CHANNEL so that ions and small molecules can cross QUICKLY  
🗑
basement membrane   network of protein fibers and carbs bw epithelial and connective tiss. regulates what enters or leaves. anchors epithelial  
🗑
simple squamous   single layer of flat wide irregular shape (fried egg). allows rapid movement across surface.L in alveoli (lungs), in lumen of blood vessels, capillaries, heart chambers, serous body membranes  
🗑
simple cuboidal   single layer cubic cells (as tall as wide) nucleus in center. F absorption and secretion. L thyroid follicles, kidney tubules, ducts of glands, surface of ovaries  
🗑
simple columnar   single layer tall and narrow, nucleus lengthwise. F absorb and secrete (mucin). L digestive tract, bronchi and bronchioles (lungs), fallopian tubes (cilia move eggs)  
🗑
stratified squamos   many layers of more squashed cells toward apical surface. F protection. L mouth esophagus vagina anus (non keratinized), skin (keratinized to waterproof and strengthen and protect)  
🗑
stratified cuboidal   multiple layers of cube shaped cells. F: protection and secretion. L exocrine glands, some parts of male urethra  
🗑
pseudostratified columnar   appears as many layers of columnar cells at diff heights, nucleus seen at different levels, can have goblet cells and cilia. F: protection & secretion of mucin. L respiratory tract, epididymis.  
🗑
transitional   oval or dome shape at apical surface (if relaxed), can be binucleated. F stretch and relax. L urinary sys: ureters, bladder, urethra  
🗑
microvilli   tiny cytoplasmic projections on apical surface of cells that increase surface area for secretion and absorption, brush border  
🗑
cilia   cytoplasmic microtubule projections beat to move materials  
🗑
connective tissue characteristics   specialized cells, usually not tightly packed, protein fibers, ground substance  
🗑
collagen PF   3 protein strands twisted, strong and stretch resistant. L tendons ligaments  
🗑
reticular PF   BRANCH network of interwoven fibers for support framework  
🗑
elastic PF   elastin can be stretched and then return to original shape (rubber band)  
🗑
ground substance GS   bw cells and protein fibers, sometimes dense or liquid. forms extracellular matrix w protein fibers  
🗑
areolar (loose CT)   abstract art. fibroblasts, wbc, all 3 PFs. F binds packs cushions around organs. L surrounds nerves, vessels, subcutaeneous layer. GS gel like liquid  
🗑
adipose (loose CT)   marshmallows adipocytes packed together. PF few collagen. GS gel like. F protects cushions insulates stores energy. L around kidney, eyeballs, hypodermis, abdomen breast buttock  
🗑
reticular (loose CT)   fibroblasts, reticular cells, wbc. PF reticular. GS gel like. F support framework. L tonsils, spleen, thymus, lymphatic system organs, lymph nodes  
🗑
dense regular CT   fibroblasts. PF collagen tightly packed parallel. GS not much. avascular. F: strength and flexibility in ONE direction. L tendons ligaments. stacked lasagna noodels  
🗑
dense irregular CT   fibroblasts. PFs collagen irregularly arranged (swirls). GS not much. F withstand tension in many directions. L dermis, periosteum, perichondrium, , organ capsules.  
🗑
hyaline cartilage   glassy smooth, lacunae w chondrocytes. GS hard rubbery. F support, reduces friction, resists compression. L embryonic skeleton, nose, trachea, larynx, bronchi, costal. weak.  
🗑
fibrocartilage   chondrocytes in lacunae. PFs wavy collagen. GS less firm than hyaline. f shock absorber resists compression. L intervertebral discs, pubic su=ymphysis, meniscus of knee joints.  
🗑
elastic cartilage   chondrocytes in lacunae w web like mesh of elastic fibers. GS gel like. F: maintain structure and shape allows flex. L pinna of ear, epiglottis.  
🗑
4 types of body membranes   mucous (line spaces that comm w outside digestive urinary respiratory reproductive); serous (line ventral body cavities thoracic mediastinum and abdominopelvic and on top of organs); cutaneous (skin); synovial (outer edges of joints)  
🗑
parietal membrane   serous membrane lines wall of ventral cavity. pleura (lungs), pericardium (heart), peritoneum (abdominopelvic)  
🗑
visceral membrane   lies ON ventral organs. pleura (lungs), pericardium (heart), peritoneum (abdominopelvic)  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
